May Be You Should Read This...

“Ten years ago I lost my job at a hotel. Somebody bought the building
and fired everybody. I had four kids at home, and I went from $21/hour
to $13/hour. Nobody else would hire me. Seventeen years in the hotel
industry but apparently I didn’t even qualify to carry a suitcase. I had
to start parking cars at a garage. Luckily I ended up getting this job
with the city. They started me at $12/hour but I’ve worked my way up to
$30/hour. But I don’t take things for granted anymore. I used to dream
about all the nice things I wanted. I’m more cautious now. I mainly
think about protecting the things I need. And I try to make myself
irreplaceable. I try to have perfect attendance. Every time there’s
extra training, I sign up. Because the more you know, the more they need
you. All of us are replaceable, but I’m doing my best to make them need
me as much as I need them.”
